Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC)
 What is an Athletic Trainer?
 Minimal 4 year degree and successful completion of National
Accreditation Exam
 Not the “trainer” at the local gym
 Licensed by Virginia’s Board of Medicine to practice athletic training
 Responsibilities
 Prevention of injuries/ re-injury
 Recognition, evaluation, and assessment of injuries and illnesses
 Immediate care of injuries and illnesses
 Rehabilitation and reconditioning of injuries
 Organization and administration
 Professional development and responsibility
Injuries
 All injuries & illnesses must be reported to the
Athletic Trainers prior to a return to activity
regardless of severity or physician consultation
 Our philosophy is to return injured athletes to
participation in the quickest and SAFEST manner
possible.
 Rehabilitation and reconditioning is a primary role
of the Certified Athletic Trainers
 Every injury will benefit from some form of
rehabilitation
When an Injury Occurs
 Severe injuries and those resulting in any time loss, you
will be notified by phone.
 Please make sure we have current contact numbers!
 Every injury is different and so is the proper care for
that injury
 If your son/daughter sees a physician – Please bring in a
note that informs us of diagnosis, what rehab or
treatment the physician would like, and the
participation status.
Return To Play
 Describes a process rather than a singular event
 Discrete steps of increasing intensity
 Occurs over period of days → weeks

Depends on nature/severity of injury
 Includes:
 Regular evaluation & treatment by ATC
Strengthening, range of motion, proprioception
 Sport specific skills
 Graduated participation during practices

 In most cases, students should demonstrate ability to play
during PRACTICE before competing in a game
 A parent, coach, family physician, athlete, administrator, ATC,
or team physician can exclude an athlete from participation
 All must be in agreement that the student can and should play
Building Responsible Athletes
 Have your athlete carry a water bottle with them at all
times
 Maintaining proper hydration is a full time job, not just
during practice/games
 Have your athlete pack a lunch/snacks to bring to
school each day
 Have your athlete wash their own uniforms and
practice gear on a regular basis
Hygiene

soap

ATCs
 DO NOT:

 Share towels
 Share personal products like soap or deodorant
 Allow water bottles/coolers to make contact with
your mouth
Parents: Please reinforce ALL of the above
Nutrition
 Good nutrition should be a priority
 Proper hydration is essential
 22-24 oz of H20 for every pound lost

pill or supplement

FCPS Participation Pledge
Policy
 Participation in activities is a privilege, not a
right.
 Athletes must conform to high standards.
 Violations of the Pledge Policy include:




Drug and/or alcohol use
Breaking school rules
Other disciplinary issues
Sportsmanship
Student Standards of Conduct
 Athletes are expected not to put themselves into
compromising situations where drugs, alcohol, or
tobacco products are being used. If they are at a party
where drugs, alcohol or tobacco products are being
used, students are expected to leave immediately.
NFHS MISSION/STATEMENT
 Winning on the professional level is required.
 Winning on the collegiate level has become expected.
 Winning on the high school level should be a
pleasant by-product to what you’re really
supposed to be doing which is developing
young people into good citizens”
 Robert Kanaby, Executive Director, NFHS
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
The primary role of high school athletics is to build
lifetime character traits in the young people who are in
our care.
We must never lose sight of the big picture – that our
athletic programs are primarily for the benefit of the
students who participate in them.
COMMUNICATION COACHES
EXPECT FROM PARENTS
 Concerns expressed directly to the coach.
 Notification of any schedule conflicts well in
advance.
 Specific concern in regard to a coach's philosophy
and/or expectations.
 Medical or physical limitations of your child.
COMMUNICATION COACHES
EXPECT FROM PARENTS
 As your children become involved in the athletic
programs they will experience some of the most
challenging and rewarding moments of their lives.
It is important to understand that times may also
arise when things do not go the way you or your
child wants. At these times, discussion first with
your child, and then with the coach, if needed, is
encouraged.
APPROPRIATE CONCERNS TO
DISCUSS WITH COACHES
 The treatment of your child, mentally and
physically.
 Ways to help your child improve.
 Concerns about your child's behavior.
ISSUES NOT APPROPRIATE TO
DISCUSS WITH COACHES
 Playing time.
 Team strategy.
 Play-calling.
 Other student-athletes.
IF YOU HAVE A CONCERN IN A PROGRAM,
THIS IS THE PROCEDURE YOU SHOULD
FOLLOW:
 Set up a meeting with the coach. If it is something that was
communicated by your child, have them present.
 Please do not attempt to confront a coach before or after a
contest or practice. These can be emotional times for both
the parent and the coach. Meetings of this nature do not
generally promote resolution.
 If after meeting with the coach, you believe that an
appropriate resolution has not been met, setup a meeting
with the Director of Student Activities and the coach.
Release Them to the Game
 By releasing a child to the game the parent is telling
their athlete all the successes are theirs and the failures
are theirs.
“I LOVE WATCHING YOU
PLAY”
 One comment from a parent that can always be
sincerely said and received by a young athlete.
